Melania Trump, Epstein — and the Photographer in Between
Sunday, 1 March, 2026
How close is the link between Melania Trump's modeling career and Jeffrey Epstein's world? On this investigative episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara discusses her latest Vanity Fair reporting following her appearance on Katy Tur's MSNBC program. The conversation focuses on photographer Antoine Verglas, who launched Melania Knauss's American career with multiple shoots—including her iconic nude British GQ spread on Donald Trump's plane—and maintained extensive post-2008 conviction ties to Epstein documented in the files.
